More information
In this work Harrison pays tribute to Dorothy Wordsworth, author who refused to consider herself a writer and whose work was not published until more than 50 years after her death. Artist and writer, both from Cumbria, are united in their intention to use their work to bear witness to the everyday struggles of ordinary people. This diptych combines an extract from her diaries with a watercolour drawing of a fern, a plant typical of the Lake District that both lived in.

En esta obra Harrison rinde homenaje a Dorothy Wordsworth, autora que se negó a considerarse a sí misma escritora y cuya obra no fue publicada hasta más de 50 años después de su muerte. Ambas, artista y escritora, originarias de Cumbria, coinciden en la intención de dar con su trabajo un testimonio de las luchas cotidianas de la gente común. Este díptico combina un extracto de sus diarios con el dibujo en acuarela de un helecho, planta típica del Distrito de los Lagos que ambas habitaron.

Ambdues, artista i escriptora, originàries de Cumbria, coincideixen en la intenció de donar amb el seu treball un testimoni de les lluites quotidianes de la gent comuna.
